Chapter 274: Monks from all sides enter Longyuan
Daxia's actions have made countless countries crazy. After all, this kind of thing can be said to happen only once in a century, where rare resources are exchanged for common resources.
However, some people in these countries did not completely lose their minds. In the end, they still retained one-third of their food, steel, cotton, fuel, etc. to prepare for their country's emergency needs.
"God, I really made a lot of money this time. I don't know what Daxia's senior officials think."
"Exchanging universal resources for non-renewable energy is so stupid. The top management of Daxia must have been hit on the head."
"Never mind them, the agreement has been signed anyway, even if you want to go back on it, it's too late."
"Is it possible that there is another deeper meaning? After all, the country is not a fool!"
"Yeah, I always feel like something's wrong!"
"Believe in the country!"
When the news spread back to China, many people showed incredulous expressions. They all knew what it meant.
Some people scolded Daxia's senior officials for being confused and digging their own graves. Some people didn't know why and couldn't figure out the situation at all. Some people thought that the senior officials might have something hidden.
But no matter which view they take, Hua Tiancheng and the others don't pay much attention to it. Maybe after a while, the earth's disaster will gradually come, and everyone will understand how wise Daxia's current actions are!
At the same time, relevant departments in Daxia also took action and began to build training halls for practice in various regions.
Most of these training halls are located in the center of major regions, directly selecting the most prosperous streets.
As for the reason for its construction, Daxia claimed that it was for citizens to keep fit.
[According to surveys by relevant departments, the physical fitness of our people is declining year by year. In order to remind people to exercise more, the state decided to allocate funds to build training centers across the country for physical fitness! 】
When this news came out, many people did not react much. After all, this is a welfare policy of the government, similar to the construction of public welfare buildings such as Huimin Park, and there is nothing worth making a fuss about.
It's just that they were a little surprised that an ordinary training gym for fitness was actually built in the center of the city.
Apart from being curious, the public didn't think much about it and welcomed the establishment of the training hall. However, this behavior stunned many real estate companies.
You need to know where there is any extra open space in major cities nowadays, especially in the city center where land is at a premium. Every piece of land is extremely precious. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is made of gold.
In order to compete for land in the city center, these real estate companies almost competed for the land. Some even went through the back door and gave many benefits and reserved a lot of land.
As a result, it had already been requisitioned by the relevant departments of Daxia before construction started. There was no notice at all, let alone an explanation.
Even the deposit they handed over was doubled. A series of operations made them dumbfounded and completely unacceptable. After all, it was the land they had worked so hard to develop, but it was gone after they said no.
Countless real estate companies approached the Real Estate Management Department and wanted to ask what the situation was, but these management departments were also confused.
There was nothing said at the top, only a transfer order, and then there was no follow-up.
Faced with all this, many real estate companies have no choice but to accept it. Their arms cannot twist their thighs. Since the land is needed for national construction, who has the courage to fight for it?
I originally thought this was the end, but I didn't expect it was just the beginning.
When I was preparing to start construction at my home, I discovered that all the nearby building materials had been purchased by relevant departments, saying that they were needed to build a training hall.
They took a deep breath and continued to endure it. They planned to increase the transportation cost and go to other places to purchase construction materials. However, when they went to the next city, they found that all the materials had been packaged by the relevant departments!
There is nothing left of wood, cement, sand, etc., and mining is even prohibited!
"What the hell! Everything has been acquired? What on earth is the government going to do?"
"It's just building a training hall. How much materials do we need to build? How big of a venue do we need to build?"
Many real estate developers are making wild complaints, completely confused about the situation and what the government is going to do.
Wasn't it enough to exchange so many resources with foreign countries before? Now we are targeting domestic resources, and we want so much in one breath!
While major construction projects and Taoist temples were being built in various cities in Daxia, Hua Tiancheng also planned to send people to the foggy capital.
In addition to major events such as building an academy here, there are other people who are going to the Longyuan Mountains to have another meeting with the big demon and seek basic skills. It would be great if they can be hired to come out of the mountain.
The government's actions are carried out in an orderly manner, and the general public knows nothing about it. Apart from lamenting that more and more new regulations have been promulgated recently, they have no suspicion.
However, there are still a small number of people who sense that something is wrong. Even if this group of people senses an abnormality, they never imagine that these measures will be related to the catastrophe of heaven and earth, let alone what changes will come to Great Xia in the future.
A Taoist temple in a foggy city.
The Shangqing Temple, which was once full of fireworks, is now deserted. The green stone steps outside are covered with greenery, covering up the original color. It can be seen that no one has passed by for a long time, so that the moss is lush and grows wantonly here.
Occasionally, three or two kittens pass by, and when they see the closed door, they can't help but shake their heads and sigh.
"The Taoist priest said he was traveling in the clouds, but he didn't expect that he would never come back."
"Who says it's not the case? I don't know when the Taoist priest will come back. If this continues, the Taoist temple will almost be forgotten."
"So many people came here because of its reputation. The incense was so popular. I couldn't understand why the Taoist priest suddenly closed the shop."
The residents living nearby were discussing, and their words were full of regrets, but one of them stared at the end of the road and suddenly fell silent.
The companions around him saw this and quickly followed his gaze.
I saw an old man coming, wearing a navy blue Taoist robe, with white beard and hair, and a fairy-like Taoist appearance. He was the person they discussed earlier, Taoist Priest Qingwei from Shangqing Temple.
The two of them rubbed their eyes and thought they were dazzled. When they took a closer look, the old Taoist had already walked in front of them and stammered: "Qing, Qing is the Taoist Priest?"
The old Taoist nodded, and they were sure that what they were seeing was not an illusion.
"Great, Taoist Priest Qingwei, you are finally back! We were just wondering when the Shangqing Temple would be able to open its doors."
"Today is a good day. We are going to inform everyone. You don't know how many people are looking forward to your return."
The two chatted incessantly and did not notice the strange look on Taoist Priest Qingwei's face. Only then did they realize that the Taoist Priest was the only one who came back, and the former young apprentice was not with him.
"Taoist Master, why didn't your little disciple come back with you?"
Taoist Master Qingwei waved his hand and hit the Buddha dust, bowed slightly to apologize and said: "Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, when I came back this time, I wanted to completely close the Taoist temple."
The smiles of the two people suddenly froze at the corners of their mouths.
It turns out that the Taoist priest came back not to reopen the Taoist temple, but to close it completely!
After hearing the news for a while, the two of them couldn't recover for a long time. It took them a long time to realize, "Why is this?"
Taoist Priest Qingwei smiled slowly, his smile seemed somewhat meaningful, "I am a poor Taoist who wants to cultivate immortality——"
After saying this, without waiting for the two of them to react, Qingwei Taoist Master walked further and further away.
When they came to their senses, they only saw the back of Taoist Priest Qingwei. I wonder if it was their imagination. During this meeting, they felt that the ethereal aura of Taoist Priest Qingwei was becoming more and more obvious, and there was something different from the mundane world. human feeling.
The unknown wind blew, and the dark robe was blown loudly, as if it was ready to fly away at any moment.
The two of them opened their mouths wide, and the surprise in their expressions was about to take shape. Taoist priest Ming Mingqing was not very fast, and disappeared in an instant.
After a while, when I went to look at the entrance of the Taoist temple, the original sign with an uncertain return date had been replaced by a completely closed sign, and the figure of the immortal Taoist figure had also disappeared.
It seemed that the scenes they just saw were all their illusions.
Not only at Shangqing Temple, but also at Qixia Temple in Yunling next door, a similar scene happened.
The sky has just turned white, and the melodious bells can be heard vaguely, and the clouds in the sky are smearing towards the ancient temple.
The temple reflected in the green trees, the apricot-yellow walls, the blue-gray ridges of the temple, and the pale green towering ancient trees are all bathed in the rose-red morning glow.
Logically speaking, at this time, the monks were doing morning prayers. In the past, at this time, the sound of wooden fish, accompanied by Buddhist scriptures, floated over the temple, making it very lively.
It was quiet at the moment, with only the white smoke surrounding the temple.
The tourists who rushed to take morning incense were a little strange. They originally wanted to enter the temple, but were stopped by the monks outside. "Amitabha, there are no outsiders in the temple today."
The tourists couldn't help but wonder: "May I ask what big event happened today?"
The monk shook his head.
Seeing that he didn't want to say anything, the tourists didn't take it to heart. They just thought that something was going on in the temple and it was not convenient to talk about it. They said very considerately: "Then let's come back later."
Who would have thought that the monk continued to shake his head, "I won't come later, so as not to go in vain."
Tourists are increasingly doubtful, "Why is this?"
"Because Qiguang Temple is about to close."
The monk's plain words caused an uproar among many tourists. Everyone suddenly looked surprised and even wondered if today was April Fool's Day.
"Master, are you kidding me? Why is Qiguang Temple closed?"
The monk put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, monks do not tell lies."
Seeing the serious expression on his face, everyone believed it, but they were still unwilling to accept the fact, "It was working fine, why did it suddenly close."
"Did the temple encounter any difficulties?"
"What exactly caused the sudden closure."
"If there are difficulties, everyone can help together."
As a famous ancient temple, Qiguang Temple has a history of thousands of years. It was founded by Zhidun, an eminent monk in the Jin Dynasty. This shows that it has a long history. From ancient times to the present, there has been an endless stream of pilgrims, and it can be said that the incense is prosperous.
They are not profit-oriented, and the incense they collect can be used for daily expenses. Coupled with the efficaciousness of the temple, many strange things have happened in the past, attracting many people to come to worship, and even tourists from other places come from thousands of miles away. Come.
Why shouldn’t people be surprised that such a thousand-year-old temple suddenly closed down?
This is unprecedented.
If the temple is closed, what will happen to the monks there, and why are they closed for no reason?
Many doubts emerged in the minds of the tourists. They gathered at the entrance of the temple and refused to disperse, hoping for an explanation.
If the temple really has any problems and cannot continue to operate, you can still help by speaking up.
The monk at the door had never seen such a scene. Facing the tourists who kept asking questions, he obviously couldn't handle it, so he had to call the host.
The host came dressed in a yellow cassock. His face was calm and his aura was peaceful. He was like a god and Buddha sitting on a high platform. In just a moment, he calmed down the noisy crowd.
